Bards with the Solo specialization have an exclusive class mechanic called Chord Note. In battle, they can use certain skills to acquire red or orange notes that appear on a tracking element (called the score).
The cinematic trailer of Tarisland sets the mood for the launch:
Solo Bards can track up to two notes on the score. If the number of notes on the score reaches the limit, and you continue to use skills to gain notes, the oldest notes will be replaced with new ones. Casting the class skill Chord Strike grants the following effects based on the note color combination in the score.
- Eager Chord (Red x2): Deal magical damage to the target. Chord effect: Increases the damage you deal for a certain period.
- Mixed Chord (Red x1 and Orange x1): Deal magical damage to the target; Chord effect: Deal additional damage to the target.
- Dynamic Chord (Orange x2): Attack the target twice and deal magical damage each time; Chord effect: Grants 1 additional orange note.
Bards with the Solo specialization not only possess the magical power of music notes but also various unique ultimate skills such as Sprinting, movement SPEED, Shield, Hypnotized, Out of Control, Interrupts, Knockback, and Slowing.
